Karen Swallow Prior kicks a hornet's nest, my alma mater chips away at the liberal arts, and new research on deepening divisions in our politics and churches
Would you consider linking to George Fox's "Building a Better University" site to allow your readers the opportunity to see that the announced changes included more than "shedding assistant coaches and elements of the practice facility." Those changes included adding a new graduate program in Occupational Therapy, decreasing the time to graduation (and hopefully reducing debt) by cutting the 126-credit requirement to 120, redesigning the G.E. package to provide a common experience for graduates and connect them with more full-time professors than before. It is true (and painful) that the university will not be offering some low-enrollment majors to future students, but the changes go beyond those you highlighted.
